The statement consists of the report of the committee of experts ap- pointed to make the test—T. J. gan, general air brake imspector of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West- ern railroad and T. L.

The sugar schedule as reported by the majority members of | the finance committee, and practically as it passed the house, was approved Free raw wool as submitted by the majority, and just as it passed the house, swept the sen- ate caucus by a vote of 41 to 6. Followed Hard Fight.. . This ratification of President Wil- fon’s tariff policy, he having insisted upon the wool and sugar propositions before the ways and means commiftee in the beginning, came after a long se- ries of ‘developments since the tariff; bill passed the house, in which the; president has been an active partici- | pant. When the fight of the anti-free | sugar and anti-free® wool democrats was getting hot the president issued a public statement declaring that an, suggestion of compromise on his wool and s r schedule ideas was abso- lutely out of the question, and later he stirred all administration leaders to tion when he made his charge about the existence in Washington of an “in- sidious lobby,” investigation of which has brought about results regarded as favorable to the tariff bill. The Opposition Senators. The six democratic senators who voted against free sugar on the final vote approving the schedule were Hitchcock, Nebraska; Newlands, Ne- vada; Ransdell and Thornton, Indiana; Shafroth of Colorado and Walsh of Montana. The six who opposed free raw wool to the end were Chamberlain of Oregon; Newlands. Nevada; Rans- dell and Thornton, Louisiana, Shafroth and Walsh. No attempt was made in the caucug today to bind the members to the action of the caucus. The question will come up when the entire bill has been passed upon. Some mem- | bers will fight it, but administiration, the two Louisiana senators would ask to be released from the caucus pledge if one is gubmitted. The general opin- ion is that a binding resolution will be offered. Ten Votes on Sugar Amendment. Approval of the schedule came after prolonged discussion and ‘after several amendments had been voted down. On ‘some of the amendments the oppsition | showed mors stre: , the maximurg being ten votes for nator Shafroth’s amendment to the sugar schedule. This would have eliminated free sugar and’ substituted a duty of approximately one-half cent a pound on refined su- gar. This amendment was lost by a vote of 37 to 10, Senators Thompson, Chamberlain, Hitcheock, Newlands, Shafroth, e, Ransdell, Thornton, | Tillman and Walsh voting for it.

R. ‘Winsted, Conn., June 25—By a scant margin of a few feet a passenger train on the Central New England Railway escaped a plunge down a seventy-five foot embankment this afternoon at Ore Hill, 12 miles west of Canaan, where a serious railroad wreck occur- cured last Monday.

CONGRESSMAN NAMED Volu Telephone Message Purporting to Come from One Recommended At- torney fgr Duty ‘Bt Washington. ‘Washington, June 25.—Robert Scott Lovett, chairman of the board, of di- rectors of the Union Pacific Reilroad company, told the senate “lobby” in- |vestigating committee tonight that a long continued and determined effort had been made to have Ed: Lau- terbach, a New York lawyer, retained by his company “to grease the wheels' in Washington and prevent unpleasant agitation in congress against the dis- solution plan the Union Southern Pacific systems, ordered by the department of justice. Congressman’s Name Brought In, Judge Lovett made no charge that any corrupt methods had been used to secure the employment of Lauterbach. He did swear, however, that someona purporting to-be Congressman Riedan of New York, over the telepone had urged the retention of the New Yorker, and had suggested the Ikelihood of difficulty in congress which might be averted by his employment as counsel. A similar telephone conversation had occurred, he said, between a man rep- respenting himself as Mr. Riodan and Maxwell Evarts, counsel for the South- ern Pacific. “Radical Element” to Make Trouble. Gtto H. Kahn of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., a New York banking firm, interested in Union Pgpific, the witness said, had several conversations with Mr. Lauter- bach personally, in which the lawyer had referred to what might be expect- ed from the “radical element” in con- gress in relation to the dissolution plans of the two roads. “Mr. Kahn reported to me” says Judge Lovtt, “that Mr. Lauterbach had said in substance that a motion was about to be made, I think in the house of representatives, to oppose this pro- posed dissolution, or the disposition of the stock of the Southern Pacific, which is now held by the Union Pacifle, and that it would propably also involve a reopening of the money trust inquiry, T think, and some other matter that had been more or less discusded. Could Be Very Helpful. ‘He sald that the radical party, as he called them, or the radical faction, were about to commence these efforts, and that they" were going to make a point about common banking control— he mentioned some of the mfilflen who would lead in this and icated that he might be very helpful in the matter and that his servicées were available If desired.” : * “Did . he state what congressmen they were?” asked Chairman Over- man. “Congressman Henry of Texas was mentioned,” said the witness, “as the leader of the radical faction, as he called it. I should like to state in that connection, however, that I have known Mr. Henry for a great many years, and I never believed for » moment that there was any connection’ between this gentleman and Congressman Henry.” Doubts That Riodan Called Him. Mr. Lovett said he made no effort to determine whether it was actually Con- gressman Riodan who had telephoned to him and to Mr. Evarts. He had not doubted it, he said, until he learned recentiy that many Wall street finan- clal men had been repeatedly called up by men who falsely represented them- selves to be congressmen. “] now have very serious doubts that it was'Congressman Riodan who talked with me over the telephone,” he added. i o8 well in the north and all danger to!
